Professional Development Guides
TextProject is committed to supporting "the teacher of teachers" (e.g. literacy coaches, teacher educators, workshop providers) with materials that aid in their coaching and supporting of teachers to provide the best possible texts and reading experiences to students. At present, TextProject has three guides aimed specifically for professional development.
Teacher Development Series
The TextProject Teacher Development Series on Text Complexity and the Common Core State Standards is a series of five modular lessons, each with guidance for teacher leaders, teacher educators or staff development leaders as well as activities for teachers.
Webinar Guides
Teacher educators and professional learning providers will find the webinar guides useful in assisting teachers (whether teacher candidates or teachers in professional learning communities) to get the most out of the CCSS Webinar Series.
Virtual Institute on Assessment and the Common Core
Videos of national experts in assessment are available at TextProject's YouTube channel. Elfrieda H. Hiebert summarized the presentations in an e-book to support leaders of professional development.
